“We are in the presence of someone who can come out playing, who can burst it, who has presence and who if he has to hit, he hits you. At his age, he is a kid who gives you confidence when the ball comes to him.
“I would like to see him at Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. We found a central duo for the next ten years.
